Tesla was in talks in Poland regarding FSD Supervised. But the demonstration drives were supposed to take place outside the country.
The FSD account in Denmark showed interest in a single stretch of the A2 highway in Tesla’s publication regarding supervised FSD tests (Supervised; source). It turns out the company tried to negotiate with decision-makers to get the system approved for use earlier [? – editor] based on a temporary permit from the Dutch RDW. However, they were invited for test drives as far as Berlin (Germany), while tests were completely refused in Poland.
No FSD Supervised in Poland, so “who wants it finds a way”?
The published communication — worth reviewing as it might be removed from the internet — indicates that a Tesla representative advocated for accepting FSD Supervised, while Artur Marciniszyn from the Department of Vehicle Homologation at the Technical Supervision Agency likely concluded that the matter should be given normal priority. He was slow to respond (“I’m sorry for the delay in my reply; work obligations…”), brought up the not-so-significant issue of modifications to cars on Polish roads, expressed concern that a driver might force the system to exceed speed limits, and worried that FSD Supervised would stop working after crossing the border.

Let’s recall that we’re talking about a system that requires constant supervision, so a driver who fails to notice exceeding limits probably shouldn’t be driving at all… The only truly sensible and substantive question concerned the assumptions under which FSD Supervised would be made available only to those Teslas that obtained homologation certificates after July 2023. This is a signal to those who hope to get access to FSD Supervised Lite in older cars with hardware from before HW4/AI4.
It seems unlikely they will receive it, as there is no current debate on the matter and the company’s statement explicitly excludes them. In our view, the manufacturer realized that owners of older Teslas are willing to overlook many things and constitute a loyal base of potential customers. The lack of FSD, even in the Lite version, might persuade them to buy another car.
A spokesperson for the manufacturer mentioned that FSD Supervised “was not tested in Poland due to formalities” and that a demonstration of the system could be held in Berlin. This is intriguing because the software’s capabilities place it in a gray area: it is not an autonomous driving system (SAE Level 4) that would require approval, but it is also not a standard advanced driving system at Level 2+ (SAE Level 2.99/2+), as its operational scope means there is essentially no equivalent to it. Other Level 3 driving systems have been approved under EU/UNECE regulations.
These “formal considerations” can even restrict experiments conducted by the manufacturer – despite claims of 105,000 kilometers of testing – let alone making the software publicly available. Voting on approving FSD Supervised across the entire European Union will take place at the earliest in December 2026.
